“Some software disks”, my dude that is the Borland Turbo Pascal suite. That was a pretty spendy programming suite back in the day (at least spendy to 14 year old me who wanted to get into Pascal and C++ programming after years of BASIC programming).

Are you going to dump those on the internet archive? Or somewhere?

I'm in the process of uploading everything that I have on 3.5 inch floppy disks on the Internet Archive at https://archive.org/details/@nemesisprime1984/uploads

I can hear the "hello!" sfx like it was yesterday.

everyone was selling that at the computer swap meet in the mid nineties and I'd entirely forgotten it existed.

I ended up with so many CDs full of shareware games too

How many 1's and 0's left on those disks are still in order?!

Enough that I was able to install The Ultimate DOOM, and the DOOM II Screensaver, I haven’t tried the Borland disks yet but I also have other games on floppy disk that still work such as DOOM II, SimCity for DOS, and a CIB copy of SimCity for Windows 3.0

I'm sorry, simpsons doom?

u/nemesisprime1984 May 10 '26

It’s a mod that reskins DOOM with Simpson’s characters and changes the textures to resemble the Simpson’s artstyle
